KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The publisher of the bluegrass standard "Rocky Top" is asking a federal appeals court to reconsider a request to stop the East Tennessee town of Lake City from trying to cash in on the song's fame.

The Lake City Council is scheduled to vote on Thursday whether to change the town's name to the song title. A group of developers has promised to build a massive tourist complex in the town of 1,800 if the change goes through.
